Born
in St. Louis, Missouri, Jeanette was the only
child of Clarence Lane and Theresa (Laratta). At
about age eight, her parents divorced and her
mother married Virgil Baugh who moved the family
to Phoenix, Arizona when Jeanette was about
fourteen. She met Vic Davidson, son of Vernon and
Connie, on a blind date at the Arizona State Fair
and 1959 they married and had three children,
their youngest, Darlene, passing a few hours
after her birth.
Jeanette
and Vic lived most of their married life in the
Phoenix area where Vic was a licensed concrete
contractor. Jeanette loved the outdoors, wild
life, fishing, hunting, and was a lover of
literature and history. She wrote poetry, kept
the business books, and after their divorce,
became a nurses assistant and child care
provider. She was a tender soul, compassionate
and generous ... and passed away far too quickly,
leaving many to mourn. She was my mother, my
editor, my friend - and the best ever grandma to
my daughter Lara.
